Bit of info on GPS tracking, often using a mobile phone/sim card.

A few threads on here, but hit google up anyway.

Hmm, I've always wondered if there was anything like this. The one rekin posted (first link) you've got to agree to be tracked and if you're using it to track your car down, how are you supposed to accept to be tracked if the car is stolen? (Haven't looked at the second link yet, my answer could be in there.)

quik trak has been around for quite a few years now.

there are limitations with some systems in that they'll use the GSM network (mobile) to track the car. But that means they can lose the cars signal, just like you would sometimes lose a mobile signal.

Then there are the GPS systems, which again, have some limitations.

So the best, if there are any, haven't really looked into is, is to get one that possibly offers both types of coverage.

Fairly price, i think about $1000-$1500 install and first year monitoring, and then you have to pay each year for monitoring. Great peace of mind though. The control centre can do things like remotely lock the car, kill the engine, etc...

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
